Boston Globe, hoists the bloody shirt.

the Southern states that they cannot go

neighborhOOd of st. Vincent and had
come to st. Paul to enjoy the honey
moon. He was robust young Scotch
man and she was blue-eyed, flaXen

promised EUNIE before we were married
that l would take her on a bridal tow
er," he explained to member of the
GLOBE staff as they stepped from the
elevator on the eighth floor of the
GLOBE building, ''and kinder thought
the GLOBE tower would be fine enough
for any common bride to go on, so I've
fetched her up" The explanation was
satisfactory and the polite attention of
the entire staff was Immediately placed
at the disposal of the newly wed couple.
They were conducted to the eminence
OF the tower from whence they drank
in all the beauties of the far-Stretching
view. ''Jeewhilikens, but it's hot,
Sandie," was the only expression the
bride gave utterance to. ''That's be-
cause you are higher up to the sun than
you have ever been BEFORE" explained
Sandie as he chivalrously mopped her
alabaster brow with checkered cotton
handkerchief. And yet the crown
prince of Germany was not happier on
his wedding day than these unsophisti-

st. Paul is to have riding academy
for the instruction of persons who de-
sire to obtain proficiency in equestrian
ism. Horseback riding is becoming
more and more popular in all the larger
cities. People are beginning to discover
its superior advantages as a means of
affording healthy exercise. Many per-

because: of the awkward appearance
